Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Talks Ongoing WIth Al Haymon For Possible Fights

[Scipio2009]

I was not talking about leverage. I was talking about making fights. Bradley carries a good name that would make some good fights vs PBC opponents. Russell claims he wants a rematch with Loma so that becomes a possibility also.

Russell-Lomachenko 2 is for sure a viable fight, but the value of Bradley's name is inflated.

There's not a fight out there currently, on the PBC side of the fence anyway, that would be worth paying Bradley's $2m minimum, especially after the Pacquiao3 L. Bradley's good, but he's about where Robert Guerrero was when the PBC began; near-miss name that can be used to launch the resume of younger guys.

From the way things are seemingly being lined up, Erroll Spence Jr is going to be made mandatory at about the same time as Kell Brook is likely to make the move to 154lbs.

Spence Jr fights Bundu next, fights Ponomarev for the vacant IBF belt, and then Tim Bradley could be brought in as a first title defense (if Top Rank can get him a few wins).

Beyond that, I don't see a fight on the Haymon side of the fence that it'd be worth it to them to bring Bradley over.

You just really compared Bradley to Guerrero ha? Lol you're so fking delusional... Bradley has only lost to an ATG fighter... Robert Fking Guerrero hahahaaaaa.... I've never seen someone on a organizations balls more than you are on The PBC's...

Broner/Bradley or GTFO

Arums to risky for Hayman to mess with. Arums camp is small but going head to head with Arum Al would lose.

Beerbuddy is into giving BJs instead of getting them.

You right about his backside though...he loves it.

???? I had a rough FKN day and could use a BJ! I'll just have Beerbubbles put a bag over the head, cut out the mouth area, and glue a face pic of Shakira to it...

Oh so it's your alt


Shocking


I'll call your girl later tonight sweetums.

KillCali says you give GOOD BJ's?? What's up cutie??? U got a man??

Of the top fighters at 154, Showtime has things currently positioned that most of those guys, if certain fights go certain ways, will have the chance to fight each other.

Charlo-JRock, Charlo-Hatley, and Lara-Andrade are all lined up to be competitive fights. BoxRec isn't perfect but, according to their list, Haymon has access to 9 of the top 10 fighters at 154 (with Liam Smith, via BoxNation, being a possible option if the money can be brought forward).

Outside of Canelo Alvarez, how many fighter at 154 would Showtime (due to political limits) be unable to bring over? Even after the three fights mentioned, assuming that Lara/Charlos win, you still have Michel Soro, Jorge Cota and the newer guys (Terrel Williams, Joseph Elegele, Erickson Lubin, Pritchard Colon had he not gotten hurt, etc)

I'm not debating all that. I'm debating there is some sort of tournament going on at 154 between Charlo 1 vs J Rock, Charlo 2 vs Hatley & Lara vs Boo Boo. If the Charlo's & Lara win that "tournament" is over. It'll only work if Boo Boo &/or J Rock are the goods or almost the goods.

Timothy Bradley loss 2 of the three fights with Pacquiao, has no home market to speak of where he sells tickets, and fights for Bob Arum.

Robert Guerrero, at the start of PBC, had just taken the L to Floyd after going 8 years undefeated, fought in a TV-friendly style, had yet to ever have been stopped, and was a Mexican American fighter that the CA Latin American audience had come to know.

not my fault that you've got rose-colored glasses on; I've never seen someone swallow down the HBO propaganda so hard.
